Super Bowl 51 Recap and Jim Rome on the Jungle, Clones, and Fixes
The world just witnessed the greatest Super Bowl comeback in history, and Big Cat and PFT Commenter are here to sort through the wreckage of the Falcons' second-half collapse. While the rest of the sports world is trying to be serious, the guys are focused on the important things, like whether Matt Ryan was playing through a severe case of Super Bowl nerves and if Kyle Shanahan already had one foot in San Francisco.
PFT CommenterSuper Bowl 51 is the best Super Bowl of all time
Number one, right off the bat, is this the best Super Bowl of all time? ... [Big Cat] well, people forget there's never been an overtime. [PFT Commenter] That's a good point.
Big Cat and PFT Commenter are convinced this wasn't just a Patriots win, but an all-time Falcons choke job. Between the Matt Ryan fumble and the refusal to just run the ball and kick a field goal late in the fourth, the Falcons handed the trophy over on a silver platter.
PFT CommenterThe Falcons lost Super Bowl 51 more than the Patriots won it
Maybe the biggest thing that we're going to talk about is, did the Patriots win this game or did the Falcons lose it? Ooh, I think they lost it. I think the Falcons lost it.
Tom Brady gets the headlines for his fifth ring, but the guys aren't letting James White’s legendary performance go unnoticed. White was the engine that kept the comeback moving while Brady was busy shaking off a rocky start.
Big CatJames White should have been the Super Bowl 51 MVP over Tom Brady
James White had a great game. Getting in on the fun. He should have been MVP. He had three touchdowns. He was all over the field. They had no answer for him. Tom Brady did the old Brett Favre. It was a participation trophy for Tom Brady. It was a lifetime achievement award.
The Jungle Comes to PMT
Legendary sports talk host Jim Rome joined the show from the sidewalk outside the Super Bowl. In a true "meeting of the minds" or just three alphas shouting over a black helicopter, the guys grilled Rome on his career, his beefs, and his transition from being the king of the jungle to a careful tweeter.
Big Cat didn't hold back, immediately asking Rome about his infamous run-ins with commissioners. While Roger Goodell is usually the target, Rome still has some residual heat for the NBA's former boss.
Jim RomeDavid Stern was a worse commissioner than Roger Goodell
Which commissioner do you think has done a worse job, Roger Goodell or David Stern when he got into that beef with you? Yeah, that's going to be a tough call... David Stern. Yeah, Stern was not happy with me that day. He was not happy with me asking him something that I've probably asked him 20 times before. [The frozen envelope].
Rome also leaned into his reputation for having strong opinions, even if he doesn't call them "hot takes." He might not be looking for a debate with Skip Bayless anytime soon, but he's got plenty of thoughts on the validity of literally every event in human history.
Jim RomeEverything in the history of the world is fixed, including every sports game
My take is, I don't know for certain, which is why I asked the question. ... Everything in the history of the world is fixed. Every game is fixed. Everything is fixed. The Bible is fixed.
To wrap up the interview, PFT Commenter debuted a Rome-on-Rome impression that Rome himself gave a measly 1.9 rating. Despite the low score, Rome still played along with a debate on the GOAT, proving he still has that clutch gene.
Jim RomeMichael Jordan is better than LeBron James because he has the clutch gene
LeBron is a fraud. He's a hot fraud. Michael Jordan's all that. He's an all that guy. Get your 32, 11, 6, bank it. More importantly, clutch gene.
Who's Back and Respecting the Biz
In Who’s Back, Tiger Woods’ back is unfortunately back in the news after a withdrawal in Dubai, and Roger Goodell is officially "back" in the eyes of the show after taking a massive verbal beating from every single person in New England.
Big CatRoger Goodell is back after taking his medicine from Patriots fans
The boos that were rained down on Roger Goodell... He stood up there. He overdosed on his medicine. I think he's back. I think it's now fair's fair.
For a special Super Bowl edition of Respect the Biz, Big Cat and PFT Commenter detailed their undercover mission onto Radio Row. Armed with a fake pass featuring a Captain Crunch barcode and the name "Tony Tomsula," the guys proved that NFL security is mostly just about looking like you belong in a Hawaiian shirt.
PFT CommenterSuper Bowl security will be significantly upgraded next year after how easily we snuck in
My prediction is that next year there's going to be a major upgrade in security. Because we were able to get around way too, way too easily. ... We had the Captain Crunch barcode.
Finally, the guys gave a well-deserved shout-out to the halftime show, making it clear that if you didn't enjoy Lady Gaga jumping off the roof of the stadium, you're probably a globalist with a dark agenda.
Big CatLady Gaga's Super Bowl halftime performance was stellar
Lady Gaga's halftime performance, which was stellar, by the way. Anyone who hated that, get out of my face. Stop listening to this show.
One thing we can all agree on is that the Falcons have a long offseason of looking at that 28-3 lead ahead of them.
